She's 44 isn't she? I don't disagree with the rest, but I'd hate to be written off as heading towards 50 at 44!

I would say it's more the fact that she's such an awful woman, just not worth a billionaire's time when there are plenty of other options

I have no idea of the veracity - but there were a load of gossip blinds 2 or 3 years ago that Meghan was having a lot of secret meetings with the recently widowed Gordon Getty (who was around 90) until the family stepped in.

Similar blinds that she was on the phone trying to arrange a meeting with Bill Gates the same week his divorce was announced ... but was unable to get through the switchboard!

But take with a pinch of salt

I heard those too lunde , but I thought it was pre Harry ? , there was even a photo of her sat on his lap! 🤷‍♀️ ( Getty not gates ! 😁)

And when the dust did settle, and all the hype was over, it was clear that they didn't really have much to tell at all - hence the lies

Also very true, @bluegreygreen, but it didn't stop some shrieking at the time that what turned out to be lies "proved" this and that

How embarrassing ...

And it’s still happening now! , plus we have the utterly insane rubbish in spare being touted as “evidence “ now too! 😬

Indeed, jeff, but then there's no accounting for taste Hmm

BTW I'm pretty sure I too remember a photo of Meghan on Getty's lap, but I can't find it not ... wonder if that's been scrubbed too?

At least the ones of her writhing about for Craig Ferguson are still there though:

I believe it was posted on a previous thread!! , I will have a look!👀

jeffgoldblum · 23/07/2026 16:21

Ok ! I have done some searching!! And yes @Puzzledandpissedoff! , that’s picture has been scrubbed, however the internet is forever, so I managed to locate it! 😁 , however there is some doubt whether this is Getty but instead max azria ( a very rich Parisian fashion designer who died in 2019!) 🤷‍♀️

She certainly wasn't letting her friend have any of the action.

I actually find that photo quite disturbing. It feels predatory.

She's not heading back to 40 though, is she? We only age in one direction.
A divorce would take a couple of years. She's definitely heading towards 50.

I've always thought she was/is predatory.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 23/07/2026 18:54

Thanks for linking the picture, @jeffgoldblum - yes I think it's Max Azria and it just looks pitiful Confused

It certainly does! 😬 ….as they say …there’s no fool , like an old fool ! 🤷‍♀️

edit to add!! , having looked closely at the picture it now looks very much like she’s got her thigh pressed against his crotch!! No wonder he looks happy! 😬

I heard those too lunde , but I thought it was pre Harry ? , there was even a photo of her sat on his lap! 🤷‍♀️ ( Getty not gates ! 😁)

The specific rumours I red were from 2023 and Meghan meeting him at the Pink Hotel in Beverley Hills.

It was rumoured the Getty family stepped in to stop the meetings.

I don't think the photos are pre-Harry because they are post rhinoplasty

Scrubbing the internet is useless! , there are always copy’s floating about!

Just saw a trailer for the master chef show, whoever did her styling was taking the proverbial piss, she looks like Morticia from the Adam’s family.

MyDogClive · 23/07/2026 19:41

Oh dear! I hadn’t seen those before, but every picture really does tell a story doesn’t it?

I’ve known people like this and they don’t change either. Always searching for the man with the money.

I'm a similar age, while I won't age backwards either I'd be quite put out at people saying I'm pushing 50!
